Jones: 248 lbs
Aspinall: 250 lbs
Stipe: 234 lbs
Jones-Aspinall age gap: 6 years
Stipe-Jones age gap: 5 years (which is arguably much more of an advantage for Jon because Stipe is literally at retirement age and shows a lot more obvious wear and tear on his body)
I don't even know anymore. Is he trolling?
He presents it as if the fans have been trying to bait him into fighting someone with these extreme advantages, but he's too smart to bite.
If Jon thinks it's not impressive for such a "bigger" and younger fighter to win, he should take a look back at his own career. He's basically trashing his own legacy.
Let's see if there's some sort of pattern we can identify in his first 10 title defenses:
9 years younger than Rampage
9 years younger than natural middleweight Lyoto
8 years younger than Rashad
10 years younger than natural middleweight Vitor
10 years younger than natural middleweight Chael
Same age as Gus (who really won that fight?)
9 years younger than Glover
8 years younger than Cormier
4 years younger than OSP
8 years younger than Cormier (caught cheating, win overturned)
Thoughts? Does Jon even realize how bad this last presser made him look?
